Total
length: 31.8
km (underground) - 40 stations
Large-profile
line with ~100 m long platforms (6-car trains of F and H stock).
Line
U7 operates every 4-5 minutes.
Running
below ground for approximately one hour, line U7 is Berlin's longest metro
line. Its oldest part is the stretch through Kreuzberg/Neukölln from
Mehringdamm to Grenzallee, which opened in the 1920s as a branch of the
former line C (now U6). In 1966, line U7 became a separate line and was
subsequently extended at the both ends. The western extension runs through
Schöneberg, Wilmersdorf and Charlottenburg and eventually reached
Spandau in 1984, at a time when there was no S-Bahn service to this area.
Line U7 turned out to be an important cross-city line in what was formerly
West Berlin.
